Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
When installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent over-
heating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on
the computer.
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the
cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure
that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
